Historic Sites of Manitoba: R. J. Whitla and Company Building (70 Arthur Street, Winnipeg)
This warehouse on Arthur Street, designed by architect James H. Cadham, was the third built by R. J. Whitla for his expanding dry goods business, in 1899. Two storeys were added to the original five in 1904. With its clear and simple geometric lines, the structure is Richardsonian-Romanesque in style. A plaque is mounted on the northeast corner of the building, which is a municipally-designated historic site.
